I double that. Had my account for about 2 months now, and never been charged for bank to bank transfer.

so this is the exact decision I faced when upgrading my PC a couple of months ago. I ended up choosing the Opt 165 over the 4200+ - mainly because it is so easy to overclock (I am a first time overclocker, so am very cautious about this). I currently have mine running at a touch over 2.4 and...

cool - thx Centoros. Just wanted to be sure I wasn;t missing out on any performance boost or anything. cheers,

Hi - I have a new Opty 165 and A8N-sli Premium m/b. Installed XP w/ Sp2 and it looks like it detects two CPU's correctly (shows both cores in device mgr, and both cores in task mgr) - do I still need to install the AMD dual core patch? And the MS hotfix? everything seems to be running just fine...

well - put super-pi into two folders, and presto - no probs whatsoever! Glad my first attempt at o/c'ing wasn't a failure after all!

yeah - I do the same with Prime95 - shoulda done it with this too. It's a relief actually - was devastated my rather modest o/c came up with errors on Super Pi and not on Prime 95. Look forward to getting home today and re-testing :)

thx for the reply. It's pretty instantaneous - about 1-2 secs or so after starting. I'll try running it from two folders to see if that works - doh! - should have done that to start with! I'm using it to test overall stability after o/c'ing - so not the isolation phase, but the combined...

When I run two instances of Super-Pi (one for each core), and I get an error on one of them - how do I know if this means my memory is overclocked or if I don't have enough Vcore etc.? Is it just trial and error to see what fixes the error, or does Super-Pi mainly test the memory - meaning I...

from what I hear - 50-55C max is what you should aim for.

I've been with BB for about 6 months now. Was great during the first month free, then after that it started to take 5-6 days to turnaround movies and was starting to piss me off. However the last 3 months or so it's really improved. I send in a movie on Monday, get a new one by Wednesday/thurs...

yeah, it's a pretty good summary of how to fix stuttering issues - but unfortunately didn't help for me... still getting issues...maybe it's the graphics card, dunno, need to do some more investigating

thx for the suggestions! I understand you shouldn't increase it above 1000, but does it matter how far below 1000 it is? i.e. should I use 2x instead of 3x?

gave it a shot - no errors (yet) but game is still a bit jerky - or rather, not as smooth as it is when I don't o/c. Don't understand what's going on, b/c the PCI-E freq. is locked, so why is it affecting framerates? UPDATE: AHA! I think I may have found a solution to the problem - seems to...

hmmm, yeah, that's what I tried, but when playing Ut2004 I noticed framerate was bit choppy (not too bad but noticeable), and then it crashed on me with BSOD. Could that be b/c I was using stock voltages? do you think I need to raise voltage a bit? And if so, what voltage do I modify? Vcore...

thx for the reply! I guess the one thing I am mainly confused about is the Ram dividers. I have PC3200 ram, so if I increase fsb to 250 (say), what divider should I use so I am not overclocking my ram?
